Re:EU proposal to scan all private messages gains momentum on Wednesday August 06, 2025 @10:01AM (#44812171)
Every message will be scanned, except for von der Leyen's contract negotiations via SMS :D
We recently swapped RPIs with Windows mini-PCs due to xdotool disappearing, and whatever the alternative is called... segfaulting. Keep going like this.
Will Terraform become dog-slow too? :|
On some old XT clones the turbo button did nothing, but Ctrl+Alt+Num- did the trick :D
Never mind :D ICE was hiding the icon... killed ICE, icon came back!
15.3.1... The binaries in Contents start properly when executed on the terminal, but the icon does not show up if I start the app from Finder - or I can't find it for some reason, but I looked hard :)
I don't even get the icon \o/ maybe I'm missing something?

Re:Async Django in Production on Sunday November 24, 2024 @12:42PM (#42229118)
I was using Daphne and then found out that it read the whole files in a POST before passing it along - needless to say I am no longer using Daphne \o/
Recurring inconvenience is a good basic test for compliance.

Imagine Broadcom getting it :D
Re:Smart jerks aren't worth it on Wednesday July 24, 2024 @02:19PM (#41060036)
In the IT world the jerk is always some dev, never a "scrum master”, some HR dude, or some project manager. Did anybody notice? :D
I had the misfortune of working for a company that was "acquired" by some other company in that area. Never, never again.
Only works if the check and balances have consequences :|
This is funny because it says "President Biden’s strategy" as if they actually believed it :D
"We" have been bending over backwards for far worse, so what's there to complain about?
Re:How Innovative Is China in Nuclear Power? on Monday June 17, 2024 @05:06AM (#40703707)
Maybe it depends on what the state actually does..
Topic logger is not listed as "enterprise" on the website and I could not find out how it's used :| it does not even show up on the "list" command..
The text "Licensed as a Redpanda Enterprise file under the Redpanda Community" appears in the two RCL-licensed connectors as listed on the web site:

github.com/redpanda-data/connect/[email protected]/internal/impl/snowflake/output_snowflake_put.go github.com/redpanda-data/connect/[email protected]/internal/impl/splunk/template_output.yaml

But also in an apparently unrelated file (Kafka seems to fall under Apache 2 from the website):

github.com/redpanda-data/connect/[email protected]/internal/impl/kafka/topic_logger.go

Now I am a bit puzzled. What's up with this?

I am furiously rewriting my way out of Benthos but I would like to keep the FreeBSD port in shape :D

I never see this mentioned and found out about it by chance - maybe somebody finds it useful \o/
Re:Software vendors dump open source, go for the cash grab on Thursday March 28, 2024 @09:20AM (#39851000)
Somebody should add Redis RESP protocol to NATS \o/
Re:The Psychology of Apple Packaging on Monday January 29, 2024 @08:53AM (#39176242)
Part 2: compare the packaging to the stream of garbage that comes up as "ps xa" or "dmesg" :D
i.e. they will keep two product versions around in order to keep screwing the people outside the EU.
Re:Ask HN: DigitalOcean Down? on Saturday January 13, 2024 @06:49AM (#38979138)
The moment they dropped FreeBSD support - and had to find out by asking why images were not being updated - I understood that Clues were Leaving the Company and promptly moved the critical stuff elsewhere.
"Our European visitors are important to us", says the page blocking the content since years :D
nats.io if you never bumped into it.
Re:Apple designer admits they don't care about user research on Thursday November 30, 2023 @11:26AM (#38475421)
This explains a lot about the so-called "window manager" they dumped on us.
Re:FreeBSD 14.0-Release Announcement on Wednesday November 22, 2023 @05:58AM (#38377627)
Works for me :) I have per-dataset encryption and seems to work just fine.
